A Poet, a storyteller. These are my insides, raw and unfiltered. Not always pretty. Always real. Maybe one lands where no one else could.
"I never believed in God, until I got to see your naked body from across the room, that was an artistic masterpiece that could never been mistaken for anything other than the work of the Lord himself."

We know magic is real, but when magic meets magic and together they hold magic, the magic created is more magic than even magic herself has ever witnessed 🌟

Today, I stand
Naked
Fully clothed
In front of you
Here.

What is intimacy without words to describe it? What's the power of love if no one ever sang about it? Tell me, dear, what good is true passion if we're left with no way to force the world to know about its magical intensity?

Much like the first time
But nothing like it at all
Scared shitless the same
But this time I got me.

Pacing in pain
Over-talking
Trying to distract
You won't listen
Fine
The dog still needs walking
She wasn't fed
Dinner wasn't cooked
So I operate
Whatever
Still pacing
Hours later
Not a word
Confused and annoyed
Asleep.

The blank page
Heavy silence
Like the ticking of a bomb
The cursor blinks
This is your time to run
Run and save yourself
Walk into the silence
Alone and brave
Save the ones around you
Take a chance at sacrifice
We may end up in pieces
We may walk out holding hands

Some lessons I've learned.
Secrets are only safe when never shared.
Trusting people gives them the power to hurt you later.
Going through it isn't always the only way out.
Some tunnels don't have light at their end.
Giving up is never an option, even if we wish it were.

Home
It's mostly a house
Just a little more
Safe
It's a lot like a place
Just filled with much more
Peace

My heart
Grew larger
Made more space
Created a special place
Nothing needed to leave
No one moved out
But there was a vacancy
In the perfect shape of you
I find myself
Feeling peacefully
Calmer, clearer, wiser
Still true; still me
